Turns out it is working better over the real web than on localhost (where it seems loading is too fast for Chrome to pick up UI changes, so it queues them and shows them all just after loading is already finished).

Still not working properly - getting length of full content, this seems to be unreliable across browser / server combination.

Instead passing to callback JSON object with both total and loaded bytes, so this can be handled in the application layer:

{ total: bytes_total, loaded: bytes_loaded }

To be used e.g. like this:

loader.loadBinary( url, function( geometry ) { createScene( geometry ) }, path, updateProgress );

function updateProgress( progress ) {

    var message = "Loaded ";

    if ( progress.total ) {

        message += ( 100 * progress.loaded / progress.total ).toFixed(0) + "%";

    } else {

        message += ( progress.loaded / 1000 ).toFixed(2) + " KB";

    }

    $( "status" ).innerHTML = message;

}

Not anymore automatic, but also much less wasteful.

Has to be called in tandem with scene object removal:

    scene.removeObject( object );
    webglRenderer.removeObject( scene, object );

In WebGLRenderer transparent materials are now handled in the same pass as blended materials (resulting in better fake transparency ;)

The order of render passes is now following:

1. opaque materials with normal blending

2. opaque materials with additive blending
3. opaque materials with subtractive blending

4. transparent materials with additive blending
5. transparent materials with subtractive blending
6. transparent materials with normal blending

With growing number of passes it's possible it may be worth to do some pre-sorting, though it would have to be tested.

Current way is fairly cheap as if there are no corresponding materials in the pass, for loops just blast through (potentially many very cheap operations).

Pre-sorting would mean creating arrays on the fly in each frame (one expensive operation with effect on garbage collection, which especially Firefox is currently very bad at).

Added option to OBJ converter allowing to invert material transparency (some models interpret 0 as opaque and 1 as transparent).

Fixed SVGRenderer.

This cleaned up cube mapping examples quite a bit ;)

Wrapping options follow WebGL specs: ClampToEdge [default], Repeat, MirroredRepeat.

Changed title tags in cube mapping demos (so that it's easier to tell them apart in bookmarks / history).

All cube mapping examples should work and be consistent between MeshCubeMaterial and 6 texture versions.

This version is inconsistent. Will follow with another merge.

Made up MeshCubeMaterial (missing from alteredq branch)

Removed a loop at line projection time.

Added MeshCubeMaterial: WebGLRenderer specific material for more efficient rendering of panoramas when doing cube mapping.

Also moved loadImageArray utility function from examples into TextureCube.js

To be used like this:

    var urls = [ "px.jpg", "nx.jpg", "py.jpg", "ny.jpg", "pz.jpg", "nz.jpg" ];
    var images = THREE.loadImageArray( urls );
    var textureCube = new THREE.TextureCube( images );

    // create scene

    var objectMaterial = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0xffffff, env_map: textureCube } )
    createScene( objectMaterial );

    // create panorama

    var size = 100000;
    var panoMaterial = new THREE.MeshCubeMaterial( { env_map: textureCube } );
    var mesh = new THREE.Mesh( new Cube( size, size, size, 1, 1, null, true ), panoMaterial );
    sceneCube.addObject( mesh );

Warning: this functionality is currently changing a lot, expect things to get broken before stabilization.

I can't see any other WebGL example being affected by this change (for bad).

Would be nice if everyone in the internets used the same coordinate system :P

Trying to get to the same order of alteredq's cubemap.

Updated some examples.
CanvasRenderer: Skip render when opacity is 0.

Fix is a bit dirty, but at least it's short ;)
